-    <h3>Master</h3>
+    <h3>Cheating</h3>
+
+    <p>
+        Cheating is a problem that can't be solved entirely. 
+        ActionCube is opensource, so everyone that knows how to compile it can easily modify the source to do whatever he wants, 
+        thats the problem of opensource games. The fact that the whole game logic is client-side, to save a lot bandwith, makes it even easier to cheat.
+        There is no way to avoid this abuse.
+    </p>
+    
+    <h3>Master Mode</h3>
     
     <p>
-        ActionCube comes with a <i>very</i> simple implementation of a master console.
-        If you set a master password for your server, you can connect to it and login using this command:
-    </p>        
+        ActionCube adapts the useful feature called <i>master mode</i> known from the Cube 2 games. It's implemented in a slightly different way though.
+        Servers operate in a so called <i>master mode</i> which allows people to easily and painlessly have games with people they know, 
+        without being disturbed by cheaters. The way it works is very simple: the first person to enter a server and use the <span class="code">setmaster</span>
+        command becomes the master of that server. The master of a server can force map changes, set a different master mode and perform other
+        administrative actions normal players can't.
+    </p>
     
     <div class="code">
-        masterlogin FOOBAR
+        setmaster B P
     </div>
     
     <p>
-        where <span class="code">FOOBAR</span> is the password you set. If your login attempt fails, you will be
-        kicked from the server.
+        where is <i>B</i> is 1 to claim master or 0 to give up master. <i>P</i> is an optional password that can be supplied to become master 
+        even if there is already a master on the server. The owner of a server can configure this password and use it as tool to remove the current master
+        and become master himself.
     </p>
     
+    <p>
+        The master can change the master mode of the server using the <span class="code">mastermode</span> command:
+    </p>  
+    
+    <div class="code">
+        mastermode N P
+    </div>
+    
+    <p>
+        sets the master mode to <i>N</i>. Possible master modes are:
+    </p>
+    
+    <ul>
+        <li>0 (open) - Anyone can enter the server. This is the default mode. It is good for games with random people, if no cheaters appear to be around.</li>
+        <li>1 (private) - Noone can join the server anymore. Good for games with friends when cheaters are around, cheaters wont even connect, so wont have the chance to try and screw things up.</li>
+    </ul>
+   
+    
     <h3>Kick and Ban</h3>    
     
     <p>
-        Once you are logged in as master, you can kick and ban people from the server. Type this command into
-        the console to get the master menu that lets you select the players to kick/ban:
+        Once you claimed master, you can kick and ban people from the server. Open the scoreboard (key: TAB) to look up the client number (cn) of the player 
+        you want to kick or ban.
     </p>
     
     <div class="code">
-        master
+        kick N
     </div>
     
     <p>
-        Banning players means, any connection attempts from their IP will be refused for the next 20 minutes.
-        To remove the bans, select <i>Remove Bans</i> in the master menu.
+        kicks the player with the client number <i>N</i> from the server.
     </p>
     
+    <div class="code">
+        ban N
+    </div> 
+    
+    <p>
+        kicks the player with the client number <i>N</i> from the server and refuses any connection attempts from his IP for the next 20 minutes.
+    </p>
+    
+    <div class="code">
+        rembans
+    </div>
+    
+    <p>
+        This removes all active bans.
+    </p>
+    
+    <h3>Auto Team</h3>
+    
+    <p>
+        The current master can enable the auto-team option for the server. If enabled, newly connected clients will be forced to the smaller team and switching to the bigger
+        or equal sized team won't be possible anymore. A team shuffle is performed every time the game mode changes from FFA to a team mode and when the auto-team 
+        option is initally enabled.
+    </p>
+    
+    <div class="code">
+        autoteam N
+    </div>
+    
+    <p>
+        where <i>N</i> is 1 to enable and 0 to disable the auto-team option.
+    </p>
+    
+    <h3>Master Menu</h3>
+    
+    <p>
+        Some administrative actions can be done using the GUI. Use this command to bring up the master menu:
